51. The difference is

that religion is a thing. The jury should have went 6-0 to leave it. Saying Religion is poison, or poisons everything isn't insulting the followers of the religion, maybe one might be offended by it, but as far as I am concerned it wouldn't offend me if that is someone's opinion of a group or institution. everytime someone gets on about guns or PETA you have people getting offended, but it's not an attack on the people. Had the poster said that 'the religious poison everything', or 'Catholics poison everything' I may agree with you. In the end it is still a choice and if you choose to belong to a group that gets crapped on sometimes, like say RKBA proponents, you have the right to defend it or ignore the poster. You also have the right to alert on the post, but don't be surprised when it is allowed to stay.
